Brain imaging study for epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses PET, MRI, and EEG scans to learn more about epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how the brain works in people with epilepsy and in healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with epilepsy and have abnormal EEG results between seizures.
- You cannot have had a stroke or serious head injury.
- You cannot have had brain surgery before.
- You cannot have diabetes (type 1 or type 2).
- You must not work directly for the lead researcher of the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how your brain becomes aware of things—like sounds and images—by measuring pupil size and brain activity. Healthy people may have an MRI; epilepsy patients with special brain electrodes already implanted can also join a part of the study.
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
This trial tests three types of PET scans to help doctors exactly locate the part of the brain causing seizures before surgery. It's for people with epilepsy that isn't controlled by medication and who are already planning surgery or an SEEG.
This study looks at how the brain and body coordination work in people with epilepsy whose seizures do not fully respond to seizure medicines. Some participants may be people who are being evaluated for a possible epilepsy surgery because tests suggest they could benefit.
This study is observing how the brain's connections and activity work in people with epilepsy. It uses MRI scans and EEG recordings to learn more about the condition, which may help improve future treatments.
